A fi re at Villa Dela Salute in Aloe Ridge East in Burgersfort caught the local fi re brigade unaware.

It happened when a relaxing braai with friends turned into an excite-ment fi lled afternoon on Saturday 21 March when two young children went to seek help from their neighbours. “Help, our house is on fi re and Mommy and Daddy are sleeping” was the call at about 15:45.

The children were apparently playing on the second fl oor of the dou-ble storey house when the home caught fi re. The neighbours were quick to react and called the fi re brigade.

National Guarding Services and residents from the complex in the meantime started to carry furniture and other belongings from the home.

Upon arrival at the scene, the fi remen could not open the hydrant as they did not have the correct tools. A quick thinking bystander fetched some spanners from his car to assist. “It was terrible. First they could not open the hydrant. The house is burning and then the fi remen realised they did not have the right nozzles to spray the water on the roof. They had to go and fetch it,” one neighbour told Platinum Gazette this week.

Neighbours from the opposite block said: “The tank of the fi re engine was also empty when they reached the complex. They were in such a hurry to try and assist that the one fi reman got hurt as he was not wearing all the necessary protective clothing when a piece of the roof collapsed and pieces of burning debris fell into the back of his shirt”.

Residents called for an ambulance to come and fetch injured fi re fi ghter. Employees from the local mines also rushed to help with the effort to stop the blaze.

After all the commotion the fi re was eventually contained and most of the fi re damage limited to the top storey.
